How do I add a file to the public folder when developing for web?

Expo SDK

Please provide the following:

  1. SDK Version: Expo 49
  2. Platforms(Android/iOS/web/all): Web
  3. Add the appropriate “Tag” based on what Expo library you have a question on.

I want to add a file to the public folder or root of a website and I need it for when developing locally. Usually I run

npx expo start --web

and it opens up a browser pointing to localhost. But I need a file to be at the root folder. I’m using webpack not metro. Any ideas?

OK I figured it out. It’s not super obvious, but you can add static files to web folder (create on root) and the files will get copied over.
